Abstract: A circular buffer storing packets for processing by one
or more network processors employs an empty buffer address
register identifying where a next received packet should be
stored, a next packet address register identifying the next
packet to be processed, and a packet-processing address
register within each network processor identifying the
packet being processed by that network processor. The n-bit
addresses to the buffer are mapped or masked from/to the m-bit
packet-processing address registers by software,
allowing the buffer size to be fully scalable. A dedicated
packet retrieval instruction supported by the network
processor(s) retrieves a new packet for processing using the
next packet address register and copies that into the
associated packet-processing address register for use in
subsequent accesses. Buffer management is thus independent
of the network processor architecture.

Inventor: NEUMAN PAUL
IPC: G06F1/32
Filed: 2002-01-04
Abstract: The present invention relates to a data processing system and method for a
client machine. Current working practices mean that an employee no longer has a
permanent desk or fixed place of work. The PC that they may typically use to
perform their role within an organisation may not be exclusively assigned to them.
Clearly, this practice presents the difficulty of providing access to working files and
data while the employee roams throughout the organisation. Therefore, the present
invention provides a data processing method for a system in which the system context
required for power management is saved to a network drive rather than to a local
HDD. By storing the system context remotely, the employee can roam freely
throughout the organisation and restore their system context at any machine at which
they log-on. Furthermore, the present invention can be used to provide power
management functions to thin client machines, which are typically used within such a
roaming environment. The thin client machines do not have a locally accessible HDD
that is typically required for power management.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine is provided in which the temperature of an
exhaust gas gradually decreases from its upstream side to its downstream side,
and the temperature of a working medium of a heat exchanger, which flows in
the opposite direction to the exhaust gas, gradually increases from its upstream
side to its downstream side. The temperature difference between the exhaust
gas temperature and the working medium temperature is the smallest at the
interface between a liquid phase region and a two-phase region of the working
medium, and since a catalyst device is incorporated at the upstream side,
relative to the flow of exhaust gas, of the vicinity of the position where the
temperature difference is the smallest, it is therefore possible for the heat
exchanger to utilize the heat generated by the catalyst device effectively. Since
the catalyst device is disposed in the two-phase region of the working medium,
in which the temperature is constant, and this constant temperature is a
temperature at which the catalyst is active, the catalyst can exhibit a stable
exhaust gas purification performance.

Abstract: A display device, for example a liquid crystal display device (1), and driving method are provided that avoid the need to provide the display device with display data (e.g. video) containing individual display settings for each pixel. The display device comprises an array of pixels (21-36, 71a-79d, 121-136) and an array of processing elements (41-48, 71-79, 141-148), each processing element being associated with a respective pixel or group of pixels. The processing elements (41-48, 71-79, 141-148) perform processing of compressed input display data at pixel level. The processing elements (41-48, 71-79, 141-148) decompress the input data to determine individual pixel settings for their associated pixel or pixels. The processing elements (41-48, 71-79, 141-148) then drive the pixels (21-36, 71a-79d, 121-136) at the individual settings. A processing element may interpolate pixel settings from input data allocated to itself and one or more neighbouring processing elements. Alternatively, the processing elements may have knowledge of the pixel locations of pixels associated with it, and use this information to determine whether one or more of its pixels needs to be driven in response to common input data received by the plural processing elements.
